Book excerpt: “A book that both taught me so much and also kept me on the edge of my seat. It is an invaluable text from a supremely talented writer.” —Clint Smith, author of How the Word is Passed The definitive history of the pervasiveness of racial inequality in American higher education America’s colleges and universities have a shameful secret: they have never given Black people a fair chance to succeed. From its inception, our higher education system was not built on equality or accessibility, but on educating—and prioritizing—white students. Black students have always been an afterthought. While governments and private donors funnel money into majority white schools, historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), and other institutions that have high enrollments of Black students, are struggling to survive, with state legislatures siphoning away federal funds that are legally owed to these schools. In The State Must Provide, Adam Harris reckons with the history of a higher education system that has systematically excluded Black people from its benefits. Harris weaves through the legal, social, and political obstacles erected to block equitable education in the United States, studying the Black Americans who fought their way to an education, pivotal Supreme Court cases like Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board of Education, and the government’s role in creating and upholding a segregated education system. He explores the role that Civil War–era legislation intended to bring agricultural education to the masses had in creating the HBCUs that have played such a major part in educating Black students when other state and private institutions refused to accept them. The State Must Provide is the definitive chronicle of higher education’s failed attempts at equality and the long road still in front of us to remedy centuries of racial discrimination—and poses a daring solution to help solve the underfunding of HBCUs. Told through a vivid cast of characters, The State Must Provide examines what happened before and after schools were supposedly integrated in the twentieth century, and why higher education remains broken to this day.

Book excerpt: Presents the results of a nine-school pilot test that was conducted to develop a campus climate survey that collects school-level data on sexual victimization of undergraduate students. The report describes the development of the survey instrument and procedures for data collection, nonresponse bias analysis, weighting, and validity assessment. It presents estimates for each school on the prevalence and incidence of sexual assault, rape, and sexual battery during the 2014-15 academic year, as well as characteristics of the victims and incidents. It also provides estimates of the prevalence of sexual assault since entering college and during the student's lifetime. In addition, the report examines the relationship between measures of campus climate and rates of sexual victimization.

Book excerpt: "Bemidji State University graduates just over 50% of its students; the university supported exploring the role that campus climate, students̕ sense of belonging, overt discrimination and micro aggressions may have on students̕ intention to persist until graduation. The study identified traditionally marginalized populations (women, Students of Color, GLBT, low socioeconomic, and non-Christians) and compared their experiences to that of the majority populations on campus. A sample of 607 currently enrolled students at Bemidji State University participated by completing an online survey they received through e-mail. The data suggests marginalized populations experience the campus differently than majority populations. There were more significant differences between groups based on sexual orientation and social class than other marginalized groups. Students from marginalized groups reported a weaker sense of belonging and reported more incidences of overt discrimination and microaggressions. This preliminary examination of data suggests sense of belonging; overt discrimination and microaggressions were not related to students̕ intention to persist until graduation"--Abstract.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professional and support staff provide the labor that enables the very function of the university, yet they are omitted from formal governance structures. Further, their perspectives are underrepresented in the campus climate body of literature despite growing calls to incorporate staff into campus climate studies (Hart & Fellabaum, 2008; Hurtado et al., 2008; Vaccaro, 2014). Meanwhile, studies that examine staff job satisfaction and turnover intent in higher education typically lack a race-conscious lens despite evidence that Faculty of Color experience differential outcomes from their peers based on negative experiences with the campus climate (Buttner et al., 2010; Jayakumar et al., 2009; Niemann & Dovidio, 1998). The purpose of this study is to better understand the relationship between campus climate and employment outcomes for staff in higher education using a race-conscious lens. The study uses the 2020 Staff Climate Survey (Study Sample N= 2,945) from the Higher Education Research Institute to answer the guiding research questions. It adapts the Multicontextual Framework for Diversity Learning Environments (Hurtado et al., 2012) for staff application to define various aspects of the campus climate and test if they can be connected to job satisfaction and intent to leave. Existence, Relatedness, and Growth theory (Alderfer, 1972) is also applied to describe staff needs that further predict outcomes. Finally, the Critical Quantitative Inquiry research paradigm (Stage, 2007) guides research design to ensure a race-conscious focus. Descriptive and inferential results revealed key findings. Black staff had the most negative experiences across all climate measures when examining mean scores by race. They also had the lowest mean job satisfaction score. Meanwhile, White staff had the lowest levels of turnover intent compared to Staff of Color peers. While climate measures ultimately had weak associations with job satisfaction by the last step of the regression model, positive perceptions of and experiences with the psychological dimension of the campus climate was related to improved job satisfaction. None of the climate measures were significant by the final step of the turnover intent model. For both regressions, having ERG needs met mitigated the impact of climate on staff outcomes which were significant at earlier points in the models. Implications for practice include providing opportunities for staff to connect with peers and mentors and providing avenues for cultivating staff members' professional growth and autonomy. Such practices can also serve to improve the campus climate.

It threatens our families, it threatens our communities; ultimately, it threatens the entire country. It tears apart the fabric of our communities. And that's why we're here today -- because we have the power to do something about it as a government, as a nation. We have the capacity to stop sexual assault, support those who have survived it, and bring perpetrators to justice."President Barack Obama, January 22, 2014"Freedom from sexual assault is a basic human right... a nation's decency is in large part measured by how it responds to violence against women... our daughters, our sisters, our wives, our mothers, our grandmothers have every single right to expect to be free from violence and sexual abuse."Vice President Joe Biden, January 22, 2014

Download or read book A Campus Climate Survey on Diversity and Inclusion written by Jeffrey David Fischer and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fall of 2015, racial tensions on the University of Missouri - Columbia (MU) campus led to the high-profile protest movement Concerned Student 1950, which culminated in the resignations of the university system president and the chancellor of the university (Hoffman [and] Mitchell, 2016). In the weeks before the resignations, the present researcher and his former classmate, both students at MU, had been constructing a survey to measure the prevailing campus climate perceptions among MU students, faculty and staff as part of a project for an educational and psychological measurement course. The completed survey was approved by the course instructor, reviewed by class members and subsequently administered to 229 individuals, primarily students, in the university student center on December 3, 2015. Preliminary results from the survey were shared in class and were also distributed to two administrators in the inclusion, diversity and equity office and the dean of the university’s College of Education. This study examines the psychometric properties of the campus climate survey on diversity and inclusion by conducting a factor analysis on its 16 Likert-scale items and analyzing the factor scores as they relate to participant demographics. Sample data from undergraduate students (n = 215) was utilized in an effort to identify underlying factor structures. Two primary factors emerged from the data: Factor 1, desire for diversity and inclusion initiatives, for which six items were retained, and Factor 2, sense of comfort and belonging, for which three items were retained. Desire for diversity and inclusion initiatives (Factor 1) measures a respondent’s desire for a more diverse campus population as well as initiatives to increase cross-cultural experiences and understanding, while sense of comfort and belonging (Factor 2) measures whether an individual enjoys being a student and feels a sense of inclusion and comfort on campus. Internal consistency for the subscale scores was .92 and .73 for Factor 1 and Factor 2, respectively. Internal consistency for the whole scale was .68. Desire for diversity and inclusion initiatives (Factor 1) was higher for students of color than for White students, and it correlated positively with frequency of discrimination or harassment experiences. Sense of comfort and belonging (Factor 2) was lower for students of color than for White students, and it correlated negatively with frequency of discrimination or harassment experiences.
